Knicks Star Blasts Kris Humphries With Kanye Kardashian Tweet

After his Brooklyn Nets eked out a road win against the New York Knicks on Monday night, infamous Kim Kardashian ex and paragon of NBA mediocrity Kris Humphries took to Twitter do a little gloating about how Madison Square Garden "got really quiet on the way out!"

But J.R. Smith, the Knicks' second-leading scorer, wasn't going stand idly by and let Humphries talk that kind of smack. So he RT'd Humphries' tweet while adding a pretty epic little dig referencing Kim's current paramour and soon-to-be-baby-daddy Kanye West:

Wasnt quiet when Kanye tore it down last month! RT @krishumphries: Big game tonight!The Garden got really quiet on the way out!#Brooklyn— JR Smith (@TheRealJRSmith) January 22, 2013

The zinger quickly went viral with sports fans online, and has since amassed more than 56,000 retweets and 21,000 favorites.

Smith missed a potential game-tying shot at the buzzer, so his tweet required some stones -- or just a really short memory. While he may have took the loss on the court, he was Monday night's decided victor on Twitter. And, really, which matters more?
